About this experience

Choose exactly how much you would like to pack in one day and opt for the activities that suit you best. On this day trip, you will be able to see all the must-do attractions in Slovenia while saving time and money. It’s a full day, packed with different sights, from caves and castles to mountains, lakes, and gorges considered the best in Slovenia.

We will start the day underground in Postojna Cave, the most visited cave in Slovenia, and hop on the subterranean train that will take us deep into the limestone fairy tale, full of towering dripstones and magnificent halls. Learn about the cave and its history on a walking tour (1.5 km (0.9 mi)) that passes through the most beautiful parts of the cave system, which is in its entirety almost 25 km (15.5 mi) long.
